The Trode Khangsar Temple is located on the southern side of the Lhasa Barkhor surrounding the Jokhang. Inside the two story temple, immediately to the right, is a long wall covered with a mural of twenty-five figures. At the center and much larger than the other figures is the historical Buddha Shakyamuni. On his proper right side is the bodhisattva Maitreya and on the left side is the bodhisattva Manjushri. On the right and left sides are three rows of figures one atop the other. The top and middle row have four figures each and the bottom row has three figures.
